Luckily, I have kettle bells and bands and pink dumbbells too.

F*** yeah, pink dumbells!

Just wanted to say, awesome thread guys. Very informative and positive.

(...) It took me 5 months and 2 weeks after arthroscopy to be able to do one full ROM perfect form push up; probably 6 more months to do a pull up (not there yet); if I can hold a wall handstand and be able to roll out of it by September, I'll be happy... if not, it'll be Oct, or Nov. & I'll be happy too...

I am very happy to report that (1) last Friday, I was able to do my first full ROM pull up from a dead hang; I actually did 2+1 in a row... and that (2) Monday, I gathered the wits to do a wall handstand and that the shoulders held well and strong! (it was actually a series of 10x throwing the legs overhead against the wall... I am not near holding the handstand, but from now on, it is just a matter of practicing.

I started practicing forward rolls too, so that in time, I'll be able to roll out of a handstand.

Great progress for me!

That's awesome, Fred! Keep at it!

You'll be our new Dillon in no time.

Nice Fred! Keep training hard, you'll be amazed when you discover what you can possibly do!

Really excellent to hear Fred!

Thanks Rick & Vagabond... baby steps & small bites, my main goal is to stay in one piece.

Dude, it says 'Rik' RIGHT THERE. I'm sure I know how to spell my name.

Great work! Slow and steady, my friend!
